claw caps

Just wondering if any of you who have/had cats, have ever used the claw caps? Lola clawed a hole in the window screen to get outside and I need to replace the screen but I know she will do it again as soon as I open the window. I am wondering how well those caps work and if they stay on well. They cost quite a bit so I don't want to spend the money if they won't work.

one of the girls at work keeps those caps on her cats claws. She said one set lasts about 3 months and then she replaces them.
She swears by them for saving her stuff the cat would otherwise sharpen his/her (can't remember) claws on. They just love their
cat so much but don't believe in declawing (neither do I). Can't remember what they cost but she thought it was a necessity to
spend the money on. They stick on like fake nails with a glue like super glue.

I saw some of those at Petsmart and was wondering if they worked too. I thought a cat would try to chew them off but don't know. I put up a new cat tree a month ago and they have already shredded some of the carpet on it.

Thanks Ava. I was reading some reviews on-line and most were very favorable. I am going to pick up a set of them tomorrow and give them a try. Just have to decide what color to get! :lol: :lol:

I like red, but thought that might look like her feet are bleeding. PetCo only had the clear ones tho. I got them, but now I may not need to use them.
I stopped at Home Depot to get some materials to fix my window screen and found a roll of pet-proof screening material, so I bought that, and if that is tough enough to withstand her claws, I won't need the claw caps (she doesn't use her claws on the furniture at all). Will be fixing the screen tomorrow, so will see how it goes.
